Thanks for the input. I will research each of those tires. Do you have first hand experience with any of these tires?
Does anybody else have first hand experience with any of these tires in this list?
I ran XPS RIBs for 6.5 years and 40k+ miles and now R250's for two years. The R250's are about 50 bucks less per tire and just as good. Trailer is 12,200-12,400 and I run 71 pounds inflation.
I said remove the stocks and test because Cardinals had stocks for years and quit putting them on in 2011. Our club members are not running out and installing them.
I would install LT235/85R16E R250's on 6 or 6.5 zero offset wheels and deal with stocks as necessary. On trailers it is very important to have zero offset wheels centered on hub bearings. Just ask Titanium owners that got OEM axles and wheels that were not setup that way.
